shutvik [7]3 years ago

Suppose that x,y> 0 and that x\leq y. We can subtract x from both sides to obtain y-x \geq 0. Recall that (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2. Now we can replace a and b in this identity with \sqrt{y} and \sqrt{x} respectively and we get (\sqrt{y}-\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{y}+\sqrt{x})=y-x. From this it follows that (\sqrt{y}-\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{y}+\sqrt{x}) \geq 0. Since \sqrt{y}+\sqrt{x} > 0, we can divide by it both sides of the inequality without altering its direction and end up with \sqrt{y}-\sqrt{x} \geq 0. Now we just need to add \sqrt{x} to both sides and conclude that \sqrt{y} \geq \sqrt{x}, which finishes our proof.

Find the value of x and the value of y
erik [133]
The triangle is an isosceles triangle with exactly two congruent angles.
Since the two 45-deg angles are congruent, their opposite sides are also congruent. That makes y = 5.

This triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the legs are congruent and the hypotenuse is sqrt(2) times the length of the legs.
The hypotenuse has length x, so x = 5 * sqrt(2) = 5sqrt(2)

Answer: B. x = 5sqrt(2), y = 5
